LeBron James is entering year 20 this season. Be that as it may, he still works on his game and improves it in the offseason. The Los Angeles Lakers have had a disappointing year and missed making the NBA Playoffs. Nevertheless, King James was found working out in New York with Donovan Mitchell and other NBA stars.

A career in the NBA is very different in comparison to a stereotypical 9-5 desk job. An NBA player, even one of the greats, cannot afford to slack off when it comes to training. King James shared his workout on Instagram. Watching him work on his shooting at this stage shows that he still considers himself a student of the game.
LeBron James was training with former teammate Kevin Love not just Donovan Mitchell
It is important to keep in the back the mind that NBA players do not hate each other. There is a rivalry and a desire to win on the court. However, the players also socialize and form friendships on the court as well as outside it.
Kevin Love was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. in return a rookie Andrew Wiggins was sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Love, along with Kyrie and LeBron managed to win Cleveland its first NBA title in over 50 years back in 2016. Therefore, it is really no surprise that Kevin and LeBron are good friends many years later.
The video posted shows how dedicated King James is to his craft. He can be seen knocking down back-to-back three-pointers in the videos. Additionally, he also shared the post with a caption that read, “ Its just WORK and the thing is I want MORE #Addicted #YEAR20comingsoon“.

LeBron has been absolutely spectacular for an NBA veteran in year 19. His scoring and basketball IQ do not seem to wane or fade away. Moreover, he is training with young stars like Donovan Mitchell and other veterans like Kevin Love. Mitchell is a point guard, while Love usually plays the center position.

The 4x NBA champion must feel that both these players will help sharpen his own basketball play. He is also confident about his mindset entering year 20. Playing with stars like Donovan in the offseason will prepare him for next year with the Los Angeles Lakers. Hopefully, he can have a season similar to the one he displayed this year. Maybe with a little bit more team success hopefully.
